What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a regulated healthcare discipline specialising in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly those affecting the spine, joints, and associated soft tissues.

Chiropractors are trained to identify dysfunction within the neuromusculoskeletal system and use a range of evidence-based manual techniques — including spinal and joint adjustments, mobilisations, soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitative exercise — to help restore normal movement, reduce pain, and improve function.

Conditions We Treat

At The Spine Lab, we provide evidence-based chiropractic care for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the joints, muscles, and nerves. Our goal is to help relieve pain, restore movement, and improve overall function.

We can help with:

  • Back pain 
  • Neck pain
  • Joint pains (including shoulder, hip, knee and ankle)
  • Muscle tension and spasms
  • General aches and pain
  • Sciatica
  • Tension-type headaches arising from the neck
  • Migraine prevention
  • Minor sports injuries and muscle strains

We also offer advice on posture, movement, and exercise to support recovery and help prevent future injuries.

I’ve been seeing Ella for ongoing knee pain while running, and the progress has been great. The rehab exercises they provided are spot on, targeted, effective, and easy to follow. My pain has eased, and I’m running more comfortably. Highly recommend for any active individuals.

⸻ “I can’t recommend the Spine Lab highly enough! I came in with persistent pain in my Achilles heel that had been bothering me for months, and after just one visit with Ella I noticed a huge improvement. Ella took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, explained everything clearly, and created a treatment plan that was tailored to my needs. The combination of soft tissue work, and home exercises made all the difference. The clinic has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and Ella is genuinely caring and professional. My mobility is slowly coming back. If you’re struggling with any kind of pain or injury, this is the clinic for you

I can’t recommend Ella enough! I’ve been dealing with neck pain for years, & after just a few sessions, I noticed a real difference. She took the time to fully understand the root cause of the issue, explained everything clearly, & tailored the treatment to my goals. I feel better than I have in a long time. She is genuinely caring, professional, and knowledgeable—thank you so much!

I visited The Spine Lab for postural issues that had been bothering me for a while, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. From the moment I walked in, the team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely interested in helping me improve my health. I’ve received great treatment and look forward to continuing care! X

Can’t recommend Ella enough! After struggling with a painful rotator cuff injury that was affecting everything from my sleep to my workouts, I booked in with her at The Spine Lab. Ella was incredibly professional, thorough, and genuinely caring. She took the time to assess the root cause of my shoulder pain and now thanks to Ella’s care and rehab guidance, I’m now completely pain-free and back to doing the things I love. Big thanks to Ella!
